Specialty Cruises

Create a unique party for you and your guests when you book a Custom Charter Cruise aboard our 49-passenger catamaran, The Palmetto. We offer a variety of custom options to provide the experience of a lifetime.

Dinner on an Island

Delight your group with an authentic Low Country Boil or barbecue on an uninhabited island. It starts when you board “The Palmetto” for a cruise through the harbor. Take in the sights while you enjoy refreshments of your choosing. When we arrive at the barrier island, the boat is beached and your guests step out onto the sandy shore, where they will feast on Low Country cuisine and view the breathtaking beach sunset.

Catered Day Trip

Perhaps your group would prefer a day trip including a catered picnic or box lunch on Morris Island. Spend the day on the water in the Charleston sunshine and dine on an uninhabited barrier island. Our day trips are very popular with school groups and children’s birthday parties too. Other catering options are available by request, so please let us know if you have any special dietary needs.

INFORMATIVE AND FUN

“When I booked the trip, I didn’t realize we would actually get to go to one of the barrier islands. A walk on the beach was a special treat after a long cold winter. We got to go shelling and the nature guide brought up a crap trap and told us all about the crabs, letting us hold them if we wanted before throwing them back in. We also saw dolphins several times. Both the guide and the captain were friendly and informative about the history of the area and the wildlife.”

VERY ENJOYABLE AND RELAXING EXPERIENCE

“The weather was perfect. The nature guides were very knowledgeable and very fun. Even my father in law enjoyed it and he is hard to please!”
